| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| soil use regime (Type of management and utilization of the soil) | arealbrukssystem | |
| soil water (Water stored in soils) | markvann | |
| solar cell (A device for converting sunlight into electrical power using a semiconductor sensitive to the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are used on space satellites to power electronic equipment, and as their price falls they may come to be used to provide energy on the Earth) | solcelle | |
| solar collector (Device which converts the energy from light into electricity. The collector system contains a concentrator and a receiver. The concentrator redirects and focuses sunlight on the receiver by using mirrors or lenses, and the receiver absorbs solar radiation and converts it to heat) | solfanger | |
| solar energy (The energy transmitted from the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The most successful examples of energy extraction from the sun are so far solar cells used in satellites and solar collectors used to heat water) | solenergi | |
| solar energy technology (Solar energy can be converted to useful work or heat by using a collector to absorb solar radiation, allowing much of the sun's radiant energy to be converted to heat. This heat can be used directly in residential, industrial, and agricultural operations; converted to mechanical or electrical power; or applied in chemical reactions for production of fuels and chemicals) | solenergiteknologi | |
| solar heating (A domestic or industrial heating system that makes direct use of solar energy. The simplest form consists of a collector through which a fluid is pumped. The circuit also contains some form of heat storage tank and an alternative energy source to provide energy when the sun is not shining. The collector usually consists of a black surface through which water is piped, the black surface being enclosed behind glass sheets to make use of the greenhouse effect) | oppvarming ved hjelp av solenergi | |
| solar power station (Plant where energy is generated using radiation from the sun) | solkraftverk | |
| solar radiation (The electromagnetic radiation and particles emitted by the sun) | solstråling | |
| solid matter (A crystalline material, that is, one in which the constituent atoms are arranged in a three-dimensional lattice, periodic in three independent directions) | fast stoff | |
| solid particle (Any tiny or very small mass of material that has a definite volume and shape and resists forces that would alter its volume or shape) | fast partikkel | |
| solid state (The physical state of matter in which the constituent molecules, atoms, or ions have no translatory motion although they vibrate about the fixed positions that they occupy in a crystal lattice) | fast form | |
| solid waste (Discarded solid materials. Includes agricultural waste, mining waste, industrial waste and municipal waste) | fast avfall | |
| solid waste disposal (The orderly discarding, release, collection, treatment or salvaging of unwanted or useless non-liquid, non-soluble refuse) | disponering av fast avfall | |
| solubility (The ability of a substance to form a solution with another substance) | løselighet | |
| solvent (Substance, generally a liquid, capable of dissolving another substance) | løsemiddel | |
| solvent recovery (Solvent recovery is a widely practised form of recycling where spent solvents are distilled and reused. However, the cheaper solvents are often incinerated or dumped in hazardous waste landfill sites) | løsemiddelgjenvinning | |
| songbird (Any passerine bird of the suborder Oscines, having highly developed vocal organs and, in most, a music call) | sanger | |
| sonic boom (A noise caused by a shock wave that emanates from an aircraft or other object traveling at or above sonic velocity) | supersonisk smell | |
| soot (Impure black carbon with oily compounds obtained from the incomplete combustion of resinous materials, oils, wood, or coal) | sot |
